道歉信 Letter of Apology
我们在工作或生活中，有时难免会犯一些错误，写封致歉信就显得很有必要。道歉信通常包括以下内容：表示歉意；道歉的原由；出现差错的原因；提出弥补措施；请求原谅。写道歉信的语言要诚挚，解释的理由要真实，不要显出丝毫的虚情假意。好的道歉信不仅会取得对方的谅解，还会增进彼此的感情。

Apologize letter __ business English_ by LQY
Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m writing this letter to apologize to you. I’m so sorry that we made a mistake about the shipment of vacuum cleaners.
Those vacuum cleaners we sent to you were meant to be sent to European countries, but as the old worker was retired, the new one wasn’t so experienced. Besides, the model number and the price of goods in March and July are so similar that the worker mistaken them.
I am awfully sorry for this and we promise you a replacement shipment. We will also give a 10%
discount to compensate.
I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and I will try my best to avoid the same accident happening again.
